HIPA law clarification

Asked by a user in Washington - over 4 years ago.

In Mass law, when a workers' compensation insurance company assigns a nurse case manager (NCM) to a particular file, the injured worker must provide his or her consent. Provided that the injured worker authorizes the NCM to work on his or her file, then yes, it is perfectly legal. However, if you revoke the authorization, or refuse NCM services, which you are within your rights to do, then the NCM services will end.
